there is not the slightest prospect of his

doing what the moneyed men OF Helena

The Nude in Art.

New York Special: The World CORE.
spondent at Portland, Me-, says: 1.-THE
Nude in Art" question came before Judge
Gould, OF the Principal Court, this morn
ing, and for a time the gloomy court house
was transformed into picture galleries. A
score or more of fine paintings, representa-
tions of master pieces of a Paris salon,
were ranged about in the court room on
chairs and benches. The pictures were
brought in by Mr.. Subbs, an art dealer,
as evidence that the complaint against
him Nor exhibiting immoral pictures
in his window were unfounded. The
pictures were nearly all we'll
known subjects, and are familiar to all art
critics. George Kimball, President of the
Law and Order League, undertook the
prosecution, but Judge Gould said he would
hear no testimony since the pictures were
in court and could be seen for themselves,
The Judge then descended from the desk,
made pilgrimage about the room and
carefully inspected the pictures, with evi.
dent appreciation. After he had seen the
last one he complimented the taste of the
art dealer and dismissed him.
